Smooth Negro Lawyers Dupe Race
With Story of Gigantic Lawsuit
Atlanta, Oct. 24. The irridesnt
bubble of many a Georgia plantation
darkey's lifelong dream has been punc
tured and blown to atoms by a messa
which has just come from the United
States Treasury Department at Wash
ington, announcing that this govern
ment has not and never will have any
money to pay to ex-slaves, or their dft.
scendants, for the labor they put in be-
rore the war in tne cotton fields of their
masters.
At intervals for the past twenty years
slick" negro lawyers, and occasionallr
an unscrupulous white lezal advent.i imr
have "snooped" around the rural sec
tions of Georgia and other Smith
States, preying upon the credulity of
tne negroes and persuading them that
there was going to be a bie lawsuit n.
the result of which Uncle Sam wm.W
pay $68,000,000 to ex-slaves and f.h.V
families for the work thev did as slflvoa
before the war.
By paying the "slick" talkers &
small sum, the negro who was ap
proached could have his name added as
a plaintiff to this gigantic lawsuit.
The thing became so widesnrearf thot
finally Uncle Sam, to save other dupes,
has issued a formal statement and warn
ing that a suit of that kind, no matter
how filed, could not possibly hold water. "
